Directed by James Flood, the story concerns the efforts of a crooked gambling ring to fix college basketball games.
After retiring from the service, Ken Williams goes back to his old school, Norton University, where he used to be an appreciated student with an expected future as a basketball player.
Soon Ken is romantically involved with Ann, but he can't be persuaded even by her to reveal his reasons for not participating in the university basketball.
She is involved with gangster Del Cassini, who is responsible for making Ken fix basketball games before the war.
It turns out she is lying, and after her meeting with Ken she goes directly to Del Cassini to inform him that their plan worked out fine.
